The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected the Trump Administration’s motion to stay an order that prevents the enforcement of the “Third Country Transit Rule” on Thursday, finding that the government had failed to prove the necessity of the stay.
The Rule prevents asylum seekers who enter or attempt to enter the US from the southern border from seeking asylum unless they have applied for asylum in another country. Additionally, they must have passed through the other country on the way to the border.
